HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2013--
ADTRAN®,
Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation networking
solutions, today announced that its Ethernet over Fiber (EoF) solutions
are providing the infrastructure foundation for Texhoma Fiber. With more
than 250 miles of fiber optic lines installed across Oklahoma and Texas,
Texhoma Fiber provides wholesale internet, native Ethernet backhaul and
transport services for communications, telephone and cable TV companies,
as well as businesses needing high speed fiber optic transmission.
ADTRAN's EoF solution, comprised of the Total Access 5000 and the
NetVanta 8000 platforms, offers Texhoma Fiber inherent protection and
resiliency across its fiber optic network while at the same time
enabling Texhoma Fiber to offer higher bandwidths up to 1Gbps and reach
greater distances of up to 80km for their customer base.
Texhoma Fiber’s need for flexible bandwidth, improved service
scalability, and increased performance to accelerate new application
adoption were key considerations in selecting ADTRAN’s Ethernet
solution. Texhoma Fiber knows that it is critical to provide its
wholesale business customers with infrastructure which enables them to
acquire more customers with better services sooner. ADTRAN offers a
scalable solution that supports a wide variety of service migration
needs as Texhoma Fiber’s customers continue to examine the demand for
greater bandwidth. ADTRAN’s Ethernet solution also offers Texhoma Fiber
an ideal transport platform for mobile backhaul networks to better
support the growing bandwidth needs and meet the stringent SLA
requirements of its Tier 1 mobile operator customers.

operational method which enables our customers to deploy services to the

advanced and in demand applications on the market today is a win-win for
all parties,” said Mitch Fleming, vice president of sales for ADTRAN’s
